With the new version of Origin, Origin launches EALink.exe, which talks to EpicGamesLauncher.exe, and will not carry over the '-datapath' required to load mods. Although nothing's technically preventing you from using the earlier Origin, you cannot play Battlefront II with friends.
Recently EA decided to update Origin to require the use of EpicGamesLauncher.exe to launch Battlefront II.Įarlier versions of Origin doesn't need EpicGamesLauncher at all. (this creates a necessary 'ModData' folder) This solution assumes you already have Frosty Mod Manager, and have attempted to launch the game with your imported mods.
I had my hand at this yesterday and found a solution.
